Police officers Mario (Gold Aceron) and Ara (Micaela Raz) were assigned by Chief Inspector Katya Torre (Katya Santos) to be partners in a surveillance mission. They were supposed to watch a 24/7 video feed taken from the hideout of drug lord and smuggler Badong (Vince Rillon) and his gang to gather solid evidence against them. They were Team Dos, alternating with fellow cops Wally (Bombi Plate) and Ramir (Jun Ureta) who were Team Uno.
One night, Ara intervened when she saw Badong being harassed by a crazy person in a convenience store. When Badong made a move to befriend her, Ara took this chance for her to infiltrate their lair. Seeing how Badong was getting closer with Ara made his girlfriend Georgia (Amor Lapuz) green with envy. Mario, who had a crush on Ara since they first met, decided to stop keeping things between them on the professional level.
The original film "Boso" was a 2005 sex-comedy film by Jon Red, who also wrote and directed this new version (not a sequel). The first film about Jake (Epy Quizon), a caretaker of a boarding house, who enjoyed snooping into the rooms of the tenants, like Cecilia (Katya Santos) and her husband Ding (Allen Dizon). Only Katya Santos, soft porn scenes, cringy comic lines and the voyeurism element connect the two films.
The lead actor Gold Aceron had already played a peeping tom recently, in the Law Fajardo's 2022 version of "Scorpio Nights." This time around, his peeping activity was being done in the line of his job as a police officer via via live video feeds. However, the film also had flashbacks of Mario's peeping as a younger boy (Aceron can still pass for a teenager), how he peeped on the nurse (Stephanie Raz) next door who undressed near her open window.
The place being monitored was a drug lord's headquarters, but it was practically just a sex den -- more snuggling than smuggling going on. We only see various sexual engagements going down in there -- between Georgia and Badong, Georgia and Badong's henchman Enteng (Alvaro Oteyza), and an all-out birthday orgy. Soliman Cruz had a featured scene as a slimy Councilor Cadhit, which had no significance to the story whatsoever.
The acting of the cast was all hammy and tongue-in-cheek, but the humor was very corny. Aceron's talents were again wasted by the shallow material, which had him quoting cheesy sayings. He had unnecessary sex scenes with an older girlfriend (Chloe Jenna), and another one with Micaela Raz, which, while not exactly unexpected, just happened so randomly. The so-called plot was not as important as the brazen sex scenes. 2/10.
